Brown Betty, Oliver and Barbara King’s advanced eventing horse, died July 29 following an injury at their farm in Frederick, Md. She was 15.

After a brief career at the track, “Betty” found her true talent and love for cross-country and jumping. At the beginning of their special relationship, Betty had no previous jumping experience and Oliver King had never ridden above training level. They quickly developed and moved up through the levels to enjoy success at intermediate and advanced.
